The front wall includes an electrically conductive panel coupled to a phase change material. Electrical terminals are operatively connected to the electrically conductive panel for applying a voltage across the electrically conductive panel to heat the front wall and convert the phase change material from an opaque solid to a less opaque liquid to allow viewing through the front wall. In another respect, a flame simulation apparatus simulates a flickering flame effect on a translucent screen. The flame simulation apparatus includes the translucent screen having a front surface and a back surface, a bobble--flame, a device to move the bobble-flame, and a light source to reflect light off of the bobble-flame and onto the translucent screen. In another respect, a fireplace includes the lenticular screen, the convertible heated glass apparatus, and the flame simulation apparatus.

Title: Alcohol based topical anesthetic formulation and method
Inventor: CASTILLO JAMES
IPC: A61K45/08
Filed: 2002-05-17
Granted: 2009-12-08
Abstract: A method for applying a topical anesthetic to an area of skin comprising the steps of a) incorporating an anesthetic in a lipophilic base into a volatile solvent, to form a homogeneous solution; b) applying the homogeneous solution into the area of skin to be treated; and c) evaporating the volatile solvent from the homogeneous solution; wherein the volatile solvent is present in the formulation in amounts between 40 - 80%; and wherein said topical anesthetic rapidly penetrates the skin surface at said skin, leaving a cooling sensation on the skin. The topical anesthetic formulation contains a penetrating enhancer carrier that markedly enhances the delivery of the anesthetic across human skin without altering the acceptable delivery rate of the anesthetic that needs to be delivered through the skin and leaves a cooling sensation on the skin.

Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to isolate and identify genes responsive to plant hormones, such as, brassinolide, and to provide these genes and their use. The present inventors found two novel genes (referred to as OsBLE1 gene and OsBLE2 gene) whose expressions are markedly increased by brassinolide and auxin, using DNA microarray techniques and Northern blotting. Transformed rice plants were produced using Agrobacterium EHA101 which comprise antisense polynucleotide against OsBLE1 and OsBLE2 under the control of the CaMV35S promoter in a binary vector pIG121-Hm. As a result, the transformed rice plants exhibited inhibition in stem and leaf growth as compared with controls which carried the vector alone.

Granted: 2007-04-17
Abstract: The present invention is a system (or apparatus) and method for processing fluids, especially waste streams from nuclear power plants, and other fluid media that may be carrying valuable or useful substances, in order to collect the substances carried by such media. The system uses sequential filtering and multiple passes to concentrate the substances, which allows the system to collect virtually all of the substances of interest to the user while reducing the volume of both the unwanted materials as well as the desired materials desired without affecting the purity of the fluid after processing. Additionally, the collected substances can be processed in-place, and without requiring any thermal processing prior to disposal of unwanted substances, or for the recovery and/or reuse of valuable substances. Furthermore, the system provides other desirable features including, but not limited to, a novel multi-purpose container, and an optional means to stabilize waste through in-place solidification.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved chimeric glycoproteins (GPs) and improved lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with those glycoproteins. Also provided are methods and compositions for making such glycoproteins and vectors, and improved methods of in vitro and in vivo transduction of cells with such vectors. Improved chimeric GPs encode the extracellular and transmembrane domains of GALV or RDl14 GPs fused to the cytoplasmic tail of MLV-A GP. Vectors pseudotyped with these GAL V /TR and RD 114/TR GP chimeras have significantly higher titers than vectors coated with the parental GPs. Additionally, RDl14/TR-pseudotyped vectors are efficiently concentrated and are resistant to inactivation induced by the complement of both human and macaque sera. RDl14 GP-pseudotyped lentiviral vectors have particular utility for in vivo gene transfer applications.

Title: Noninvasive characterization of a flowing multiphase fluid using ultrasonic interferometry
Inventor: SINHA DIPEN N
IPC: G01N29/22
Filed: 2003-06-10
Granted: 2012-04-17
Abstract: An apparatus for noninvasively monitoring the flow and/or the composition of a flowing liquid using ultrasound is described. The position of the resonance peaks for a fluid excited by a swept-frequency ultrasonic signal have been found to change frequency both in response to a change in composition and in response to a change in the flow velocity thereof. Additionally, the distance between successive resonance peaks does not change as a function of flow, but rather in response to a change in composition. Thus, a measurement of both parameters (resonance position and resonance spacing), once calibrated, permits the simultaneous determination of flow rate and composition using the apparatus and method of the present invention.

Title: Method and apparatus for validation and error resolution of configuration data in a private branch exchange switch
Inventor: BROWN DEBORAH J
IPC: H04Q3/62
Filed: 2005-04-04
Granted: 2012-09-11
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for validating configuration data in a switch. An error is detected if the configuration data fails to comply with one or more rules; and a user is presented with an interface that allows the user to correct the error. The rules may include one or more syntactic rules or conflict rules (or both). In the case of a simple error, the user is presented with an error indication with a smart error link. In the case of a conflict error, the user is presented with an error indication that identifies the conflicting endpoints and optionally allows the user to correct at least one conflicting endpoint. The configuration data is revalidated after a change is made by a user. Changes are propagated to affected data objects. A number of error types may be automatically updated. When an objects inherit properties through application of a template to the data object, a list is maintained of the data objects associated with each template, so that the associated data objects can be updated if the template is updated. Errors information can be presented to the user in a hierarchical error tree. The user can select errors from the tree to be corrected. The error tree can optionally be redisplayed following a change by validating only affected elements.

Abstract: A tong assembly having a powered tong mounted over a backup tong is supported at its rear by a post with torque measuring means. The powered tong is supported at its front, near its throat, by one or more struts that extend downwardly to the backup tong. Such strut (s) provide support for the powered tong when the assembly is placed on a support surface for storage. The struts each have a joint with a retracted condition in which the joint is rigid when the tong is placed on a support surface, and an extended condition in which the joint allows a degree of lateral displacement when the tong assembly is applying torque to a pipe string. This maximizes the amount of torque passing through the rearward post, and therefore ensures a more accurate sensing of applied torque by the torque-measuring device.
